Hi,

I'm trying to build a new site that will be centered around this module, as there is not even one good collaborative news site in my language!! I see it as a great opportunity, so I want to build something that's scalable and good.

What I would like to do is have "categories" of news inside the structure of vote up down. So the news would be added to the categories and then when they havesufficient votes, they would come up in the home page for their own respective categories... And the news with really a lot of votes would then make it to the front page of the site...

I noticed that nodes are not ordered by points elsewhere than on the pages that come with the vote up down package (per day, top stories, etc..) which is kinda normal as drupal will always list latest nodes on top...

I tought about using views to do waht I want and I guess I'm kinda half way there: here is my problem...

I want to have a first view which would list all node submitted to a category, ordered by date, that have less than let's say 3 votes. I tried to do that with views seems not too much possible.

The query I would need is something like all nodes that have less than 3 votes AND that are in the category 'sports' ORDERED BY dat for example...

One I can have that list, I can build another view which would be the home page for that category, you would just have to build another view for all those nodes that are in the same category, but have more than 3 votes for example, ordered by date.

That way of doing things would be great, so would have the normal landing page for all stories, then with enough votes they would go up and end on the home page for their category, and finally, with enough votes, they would get to the homepage of the site, with voting actions...

I tried the different functions in views that are related to voting API and found something about voting function results, but I can't find a way to say for example publish node that have three votes or less for example,

Any tips, ideas?

Thanks

There are problems with VotingAPI's views integration code, I see you have filed an issue #84758. It looks like Eaton, the Voting API developer, is aware of the problem but he's probably strapped for time.

You could try to put up a bounty together with other users that want this fixed.
